Not much, I've just been reading a 124- year old essay by Henry David Thoreau, and it could have been written last week by anybody who dislikes, nay. despises gov- ernment and what it stands for. ‘The author says that that gov- ernment is best which governs least. Many Canadians, who are sick to death of government and its agents poking their inquisitive snouts into every aspect of the individual's life, would agree heartily. Most businessmen would not only concur, but would raise a cheer for the sentiments Ask any man who ATTENTION — GENERAL MEETING OF Robson and District Ratepayers Association Wed., Feb. 7 —- Robson Hall — 7:30 p.m. Agenda: Chairman's Report, District Municipality Discussion, and Dog Problem Discussion EVERYONE IS URGED TO ATTEND 2-4 runs a small business, if you want to get a blistered ear, what he thinks of government. Thoreau suggests that the first purpose of any government is not to seek out and abolish injustice, but to perpetuate itself. Ask any realistic politician, and he'll agree. We should not necessarily cultivate a respect for-the law. but for what is right. says Thoreau. Heuses the illustration of an undue respect for the law, of soldiers marching to war against their common sense and 7K scclfone HIPWELL REALTY Properly Listings Wanted P.O. BOX 1179, CASTLEGAR, B.C. PHONE 365-7514 This has been hap- pening for years in Viet. Nam. There are three types of men, he says. First are those who unquestioningly serve the state with their bodies, such as sol- diers, Next are those who serve the state with their minds — politicians, lawyers, _ office- holders — but not with theircon- sciences. Finally there are the very few — martyrs, reformers, patriots in the real sense — who. serve it with their consciences also, and are commonly treated asenemiesby it. * The trigger for Thoreau’s essay was his strong disapproval. of the American government of his day on two issues, the Mexi- san War and slavery. The Mexi- can War was one of flagrant ag- gression in which the Americans moved in and conquered vast territories in the southwest. Isn't the situation almost exactly the same today? Blacks are not legal slaves, but they are economic ones. North Viet Nam was not exactly overrun, but not for want of trying. And what would happen to Thoreau if he expressed such Former Resident Of Kinnaird Dies Former resident of} Kin- naird, Sam Hargrave, 83, 3, of sentiments today? Probubly not much, because there is a growing, swelling unger ugainst the stupid warumong Americans of all walks of life. © But if he'd suid it ten years ago? Or in the era of Joe McCarthy? He'd likely have lost his job, been hurussed by the CIA and/or FBI, attacked by some segments of the press, and generally driven like a fox before hounds. It speaks much for the grow- ing fack of freedom in the U.S. (and elsewhere) that nothing serious happened to Thoreau at all, when heuttered these inflam- matory remarks. He did spend one night injail, when he refused to pay his poll tax, on the basis that his dollar might buy either a man ora mus- ket to shoot one with. But some- body paid his fine, and he was relea: Today we have the prospect of men spending years in jail because they refuse togo against their consciences. We have thousands of U.S. draft-dodgers © in Canada, forsaking their home arid native land for reasons of common sense (who wants to be killed?) or conscience. Joan Baez, the folk-singer and anti-war individual, tried to take a similar stand by refusing to pay her income tax. The gov- | ernment merely deducted it at source, from the record com- panies who paid her royalties. Thoreau advocated that, if there were an unjust law, we should break it. What do you think? - What would happen to an ordinary Canadian who said, “1 will pay to have my garbage col- lected and the strecls repaired. « But { will not pay one penny for “national defence’’. [don’t want + welfare, unemployment insur- ance, medicar so [ wan "t pay a nickel toward them."” The answer is obvious, That bold Canadian would spend the rest of his life in the law courts, being punished by ‘“his™ govern- ment, instead of being allowed the simple, sensible alternative , of opting out. Life is too short. But are we being governed to death?
